There are tons of skins out there for phones. Dbrand and Slickwraps are just 2 I can think of.
Yepp You can at any point buy stuffs like this. But be creative in thinking and then buy one to give it a killer look.
wow ! looking good , where can i buy something like that ?

dbrand is pretty much the benchmark for phone skins. They have the best quality and are the most accurately cut.
There's a big thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/accessories/dbrand-skins-t2492605
Is there anybody using a red Nexus 5 with the original black back cover on it?
The back cover of my Nexus 5 is scratched and I'm thinking of buying the black one.
Would ne nice if someone could post a picture of it
there's a thread around here with it. it looks very good

Has anyone heard what is up for the Nexus 5 over at dbrand? I'm sure they have a product in development. I own several skins from them and they are top quality for sure.
http://dbrand.com/
The device hasn't even been announced neither released. But I'm pretty sure dbrand will make a Nexus 5 skin. They did not disappoint with their Nexus 4 and HTC One skins that's for sure

Yup they have. http://dbrand.com/models/nexus-5.php
N5 skins are on the way. Considering the N4 skins thread had 512,000 views and over 4400 responses, we should all be in for a LOTR journey on this thread.
There are a few elements that go into making a skin, I'll outline them below and give an ETA. Many tasks are done concurrently, we have many Robots.
1. Measure the device, draw the vector, cut the skin, apply the skin, measure the offset, repeat around 1,000x to achieve a flawless fit.
2. Cut a few hundred skins for the pre-orders and contemplate a few thousand more for the upcoming month.
3. Shoot and edit a how to apply tutorial video. Very high production values.
4. Shoot 14 skin styles in 5 angles on 2 devices (plus post-editing: colour correction, dust removal). You do the math.
5. Create renderings for 14 skin styles, 4 pieces (front/back/left_frame/right_frame), 2 devices, with/without nexus cutouts. More math?
6. About 80 computing hours of .jpeg/.png and compression on all the assets created.
7. Code all that sh*t on the site.
8. Hit hard on the marketing campaigns we planned out weeks ago.
ETA is (realistically) Monday morning for the pre-order. We'll ship everything but the screen protectors on Wednesday. Screen protectors will arrive shortly after.
Pricing is still TBD, but we are confirming the following coverage: Back piece with our signature "nexus" cutouts. Front piece (full picture-frame style). Frame pieces with intimidatingly-precise cutouts. Anti-glare screen protectors, fitted so that they insert into the front skin screen cutout like a puzzle piece.
I'll pop by with exclusive pre-release content once the creatorBots have worked a bit of their alchemy. So far all I can tell you is that installation is going to be a breeze. The soft-touch coating is prime for skins, and the extreme protrusion of the camera gives a reference point that is foolproof.
My name is femBot and I'll be here a lot once the release is finalized. Let me know if you have any questions. Looking forwards to this thread! Also, shout out to @can6rxw for spelling "dbrand" properly... we would have been really depressed having to look at a 500k thread a year from now that spelled it "Dbrand" or "DBrand". We appreciate this a lot more than you can comprehend.
You can skip most of those steps and just send me a few of the first ones. I'll be sure to review and post pictures. Lol.

Hey everyone!
creatorBots are right on track with the N5. It's looking fantastic. Application could not possibly be simpler. The "nexus" lettering is sexy as hell. Working out the corners on the back piece next, then it's off to the frame/front. Attached is a prototype photo.
Let me know if you have any questions!

This is just a prototype material we use when making the template skins. Takes a LOT of material to create the templates and we don't like to waste stuff that can be sold.

not shipping until the 16th, and no amazon prime but looks like a very nice case and 9 colors options.
Looks like it might be a little nicer than the poetic, and at least looks like some better color options.

Curious to see how a bumper will work with a phone with a curved back...
Interested to see how you guys feel about them. Please review when you get them.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Also very interested in what this looks/feels once someone has their hands on it. I'm leaning on this or a Cruzerlite TPU.
I have the Nexus 4 version and I like it a lot. I particularly like the protruding buttons that are easy to press, this is by far my favorite thing about this bumper. The grip is very comfortable due to the textured TPU material in the bottom. It doesn't secure the phone very tightly due to the plastic frames being flexible, but it is somewhat snuggly, I dropped the phone twice and it stayed in. I wouldn't trust a drop higher than 6ft+ though.
Like the oem Nexus 4 bumper, it have a weak spot under the USB port that can break in two, but mine is still fine, I think it would only happen if you constantly remove the phone many times in a day, which I don't do. I don't know how it's going to be with the Nexus 5, but with the Nexus 4 it doesn't interfere or lift the screen protector on the edges.
I use it with the XtremeGuard skin (or tempered glass), together making a very affordable but good looking combination, closest to naked but with reasonable protection. For $10 it's a very good purchase.
Hey nice find! I think Im going to order one, the poetic one looked too cheap, and I think these are the only 2 bumpers available.
Geez, I'm going to have about 5 cases soon, then probably still order the official case when its available...
Phone doesn't even ship till Nov 22 too...

you have no idea how old those cases were or what happened to them. Doesn't mean the product is poor the user could have dropped it etc
just got bored surfing the web and thought i would see if speck made nexus 5 cases yet. and i guess i lucked out !!!!
http://www.speckproducts.com/google...ses-and-covers/candyshell-for-lg-nexus-5.html
downfall is they are 35 bucks. i was hoping for $25. well if anyone gets one post up what you think of it. i want to know if these have any issues with the power button not having any click feel to it and or easy to press by accident
expensive !!
they are over priced ..
thats my opinion .
Finally! Now speck and tech21 have released cases and imo, they are the best brands out there!

Speck always over charges for their cases. They cater to the rich stupid iPhone people. And I agree the case colors they choose suck. I wanted a plain black one.
I do like the white and blue one but not for 35 bucks
Those color options are terrible.

This case is great for side and corner impacts, but the small lip hinders its face flat resistance.
My friend has this case on his sgs3, and I saw his phone drop onto our tile office floor and crack the screen, while in the case!
The floor did have a slightly raised edge, due to it being tile, but nothing a good case shouldn't have protected against.

^ sorry if my post seemed discouraging. I can only speak for the experiences I've seen with this case in an s3, which is 2 years old.
If the lip is a decent height, things should be fine if it falls facewards. Back and sides should be fine because of the thick plastic/rubber the case is made from. Let us k know how it fists!

Local Jewelry store. Cost about 35.00. I cannot buy a band or anything aesthetic without seeing it in person first. I tried about 10 different bands then settled on this one.
This is it here but it was half that cost in the store: http://classic.jewelershowcase.com/products/59-0140/?groupId=24256

We do use it with no case, that's why we use a skin instead. Skins can often look nicer than stock. Depends on user...
I use the cover which came with the phone. Without it i can not handle the phone. In my experience it is the most slippery phone ever.
